monthly focus: october 2017 INfrastructure for fierce pose

216 Monthly INfrastructure – October 2017

Utkatasana

Fierce Pose, aka Chair Pose (Symmetrical Standing Pose)

October 2-8

FEET, ANKLES, KNEES, + HIPS (OH MY!)We think we know chair pose — which is actually called FIERCE pose — but how well do we know it really? We’re starting at the foundation and getting specific with the feet, ankles, knees, and hips in this first week. We think you might just discover a whole new fierceness in your chair pose.

PELVIS + LOWER SPINEAfter setting our fierce foundations, we’ll start working up the chain and check in with pelvis and lower back positioning. Not only is this key to keeping your lower back and hips healthy, it’s also key to making the shape a fitting challenge for your legs 😉

SHOULDERS + UPPER SPINEEver wonder why it’s so tough to lift your arms up without hunching in your shoulders? One of the culprits might just be found in your upper spine mobility. Whether you need to build mobility or just fine-tune your awareness, we’ll break down how spine and shoulders work together to integrate a strong arm reach into your fierce pose!
